Answer:
Hello Ollie,
Section 300.5(D)(3) applies to protection of underground service conductors and reads as follows: (3) Service Conductors. Underground service conductors that are not encased in concrete and that are buried 450 mm (18 in.) or more below grade shall have their location identified by a warning ribbon that is placed in the trench at least 300 mm (12 in.) above the underground installation.
